I need to add my own nameserver, but if I boot installation CD/DVD, I can't edit configuration files. So I'm searching for any way to add the nameserver from terminal.

Is there any way to add nameserver without modification of configuration files?

You can add a name server by editing /etc/resolv.conf as root.
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
Add the line
nameserver 10.10.10.10
Change 10.10.10.10 to the IP address of your nameserver.

But isn't there any command to change it without editing the resolv.conf? – kravemir – 2011-11-05T12:58:49.700
Your distribution might have a helper script that updates nameservers but all it would do is edit resolv.conf. Is there a reason why you can't edit it directly? – Paul – 2011-11-05T13:37:22.887
